I am so sorry that I've not kept up with goodreads as much as I should have. I've really only been keeping up with Facebook. I'm also sorry in the delay in the release of Blood Ties. I recently became a mom. I had hoped to finish it before the arrival of my bundle of joy, but with a severe case of pregnancy brain, I'm just now starting to get back to normal. The good news is I'm back to work and hope to have Blood Ties released later this year.
